In that case, CentOS 4.4 might be just what you need (CentOS 5 will be released soon and it will contain powerful new features, but you formulated your requirements in terms that leave no doubt you're looking for a conservative, familiar environment above all else). Disable LVM, the web server, etc. if that's what you want. The OS is very customizable, similar to Fedora. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
